Haley: Bell and every down back

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley said the team sees RB Le'Veon Bell as a three-down running back. Haley said Bell was the top running back on the team's draft board.

Bell is a three down player. He's a good receiver out of the backfield even though he measures in at 6'2" 230 pounds. Bell has the athleticism to line up in the slot if Haley really wants to get creative. We like his footwork and agility in the open field. Bell is an impressive runner in space but needs to show more instant power if the hole isn't there.

They are totally amped about this guy; for those who claimed Bell doesn't fit Haley's system, Haley himself doesn't seem to agree.

Once again, you missed the point. Point is, they consider Bell a 3-down player. That means they know he can catch out of the back field, making the offense less predictable and harder to defend, that is, IF Ben doesn't try to fight the system like he did a lot of last year, losing the most important games with horrid QB play down the stretch. Ben treated those games like he was in a frat intramural game, with a keg on the sidelines. No wonder half of Pgh is sick of his immature act.

I like how everyone who puts people on ignore have to publicize every time a post gets hidden. Kind of missing the point, aren't you. Ignore means ignore, which is the opposite of obsessing over. You're like the 14-year-old girl who gets dissed by the football captain, and obsesses over everything the guy does, while saying she is ignoring him. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It is both funny and pathetic.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......keg on the sideline blah blah blah.

Pittsburgh hates Ben because they hate change.

As long as Ben is there they can't have their beloved 1970s three yards and a cloud of dust playbook.
